Align columns

Align columns
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.

Given a text file of many lines, where fields within a line
are delineated by a single 'dollar' character, write a program
that aligns each column of fields by ensuring that words in each
column are separated by at least one space.
Further, allow for each word in a column to be either left
justified, right justified, or center justified within its column.

The following procedure solves the problem. It takes the string to be operated on as input, and an optional alignment parameter, which defaults to centred alignment. The aligned text is returned, as a string, which can then be printed.

Alternatively, this could be printed to a file (using fprintf instead of printf).

In this example, ML/I reads its macros first, then switches input to the file containing the data to be formatted. Output is to 'standard output' or similar. Note the presetting of P102 to indicate the alignment required.

This is a draft implementation of the "align columns" problem using Unix shell commands. The key tool for left and right justified text is the "rs" command. Centered text is a little more complex, since this is not a feature currently in "rs" (The centered solution will be added later.)

The algorithm is to lex the text to a list of lists of strings assuming $ as a separator,
then pad the lists out to the length of the maximum length list, transpose,
do the same with each column, and transpose again. For left justification,
nothing further but concatenation is needed. For right justification, each word's string
of trailing blanks is moved to the beginning, and for center justification, the
trailing blanks are divided equally between the beginning and end of each word.

Blow apart the text into a list of words, find max len of any word, calc how many words will fit on a 80 col line, format all words into a bit bucket line at a time. Formatting is "%-ms" or "%ms" for left & right justify (m is field width), calculated for center. fmt is the string format method or center calc function, depending. Where string formatting can be used, it would be better to format all words in a line in one go but the code would be longer.
